Fat Burners: Temporary fixes to weight loss

When you check into a supplement store or open a health magazine you will notice that you are bombarded with various fat burning "magical" pills which will promise a leaner you in 7 days or get you amazing abs in 4 weeks.

Most of the 'Fat Burners' on the market are nothing more than glorified Caffeine, which basically means they are pharmaceutically manufactured caffeine in high doses, mixed with some other odd herbs which most likely do nothing and probably damage your health in the long run. Add to this they are basically a big rip-off as they cost nothing to make and they cost extortionate prices.

Key ingredients in 'fat burning' products and this is what they do.

Diet pills that contain herbal ingredients like HCA, Pyruvate, Ephedra and Chitosan are commonly known as fat burners. All of these herbal ingredients play a role in increasing your energy level, suppressing your appetite and stimulating your metabolism.

Synephrine
You'll hear about this a lot as it's chemically similar to ephedrine. Unfortunately there’s no significant data to say that it increases fat loss, although we do know it ups your blood pressure and can increase the risk of cardiovascular events.

Green tea
There's been tons of research into the fat loss properties of this, but to date there's been no significant difference between the Green Tea group and the placebo group. If you're drinking the stuff because you like it then go right ahead as there are other potential health benefits. If you're only necking it to lose the belly, save your money.

Caffeine
Stimulants such as Kola Nut and Guarana have been shown to increase fat loss when teamed with ephedra, but you can't get hold of ephedrine so this bunch are effectively ruled out. You'll still find them teaming up with ephedrine alternatives like synephrine (above) or sida cordifolia to try to make a weak substitute for the ECA stack.

7-keto
There's been a little research to back up the fat busting properties of this pro-hormone. Pro-hormones as being marketed as 'steroid like' and with prices to match. Four weeks' worth will set you back around £45 and will give you about 1.5lbs extra fat loss, that's £28 per pound of fat.
